My ladder predictor has blown up!

Port want to play him next week, f*@k potential long tem health concerns. The AFL has to come down hard on Port. Putting the competition in jeopardy. Yes I'm serious.

The decision to let Alir back on and Jones not yet ruled out will be the biggest news of the round I expect. Impossible for me to believe these blokes are truly OK. Watch this space.

No it's not. The Premier gets last pick, no matter where they finished at the end of the home and away and so on. The final order is post finals. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-2022-afl-draft-20221115-p5byco.html

Why does everyone believe we will have pick 15? It's going to be pick 18. Have faith, people!!

If I had to chose between watching Footy Classified and a lobotomy, I'm chosing the latter. At least I'd have some of my brain left afterwards.

One of those basic skills that has been lossed 🫠

Until this, I wouldn't have given Kane the time of day. This has changed my view of him. It's 10.54 a.m. Kane

Petty was very good up forward in his last match before injury. We will definitely see him there again at some stage.

Dr Turf always started his AA selections each year with 'apart from Neville Jetta, who else deserves to be All Australian side this year' Good judge, Dr Turf 😉

I took from this that Clarry's problem is still more the hamstring than the blisters. His time in hospital affected his re-hab.

The connection between Tomlinson and Howes at VFL level is very good. It would be interesting to see it at AFL level when the time is right.

A colour photo of Bernie taking a mark was the first photo I put up on my bedroom door. It really started my love of the guernsey and the team. Thanks Bernie. RIP.

I have alway liked Amarty. Out of contract at years end. Has had his share of injuries but I can see him in the red and blue next year.

I was shocked and genuinely fearful when he came back on. You could tell he was more than just a little sore. The location of the hit was obviously ribs and around the lung area. There have been several similar injuries in football and to take that risk was pure negligance from the medical staff IMO. I would hope the Melbourne medico's would act differntly in the same circumstances.

I picked Hunter. It has been hinted by outsiders that we are a tad soft eg lack of support to team-mates when bullied. This showed we are hard and generally fair. I also picked it because it is the only one I could emulate when I played 🤣

6. Viney 5. Salem 4. Trac 3. Tomlinson 2. Rivers 1. Hunter Special mentions to McVee, Grundy, Fritta

Free ticket/s still available. Willing to split so even if not a MCC member, you can use reserved seat visitors ticket as long as you meet dress code eg collared shirt.

Struck down with the lurgy this morning and can't go to the game!!! 😫 This means I have an MCC members reserved seat and visitor ticket available. No cost, I just want it utilised. Any MCC member without a ticket (and a friend to go with) that wants to go please dm me. First in best dressed.

As irrelevant as they are to Riak, big brothers misdemeanours may raise seeds of doubt in some clubs minds. It's possible he could drop a little lower than otherwise expected. After the top 10 or so it becomes a bit of a lottery and any perceived risk can be a factor, even if subconsciously.

Would that prevent him playing at a lower level? I don't know. His doctor needs to say it.

I'm a booing atheist. I don't believe in it.

No matter what happens, he will always be my bookmark for 2021 GF replays. ❤️💙🏆

From what I can source - now in his 8th year, Smith has played 28 MFC games for 1 goal and around 27 Casey games for 15 goals (inc. 2 'bags' of 2 and 1 'haul' of 3 - the only times he's kicked multiple goals). A very long bow to think he could do what I've highlighted in your post.
